I just downloaded the Sharp one for ours: My version of the 'Voice Activated Printer' april fools prank... currently causing mayhem at my workplace. "COPY!.... COPPPYYYYYYYY!!!" : reddit.com 3
SovietRussia Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I'm on the case! [ATTACH=CONFIG]23342[/ATTACH] Even using InDesign, that is dedication.
sonofsanta Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Even using InDesign, that is dedication. I thought that - the mark of a committed professional, not just chucking it together in Word.
Bompalompalomp Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 You're putting a lot of effort in. I just downloaded the Sharp one for ours: My version of the 'Voice Activated Printer' april fools prank... currently causing mayhem at my workplace. "COPY!.... COPPPYYYYYYYY!!!" : reddit.com That's way better. I'm slightly less on the case but still putting in a mild amount of effort by printing it off! Even using InDesign, that is dedication. The truth is I'm actually just too lazy to download Office on this computer and already had this installed.
sonofsanta Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 [ATTACH=CONFIG]23344[/ATTACH] Funny what you can do with some CSS xD That's a nice straightforward idea - tempted to just go with that one on our intranet page this year... Don't forget to disable all these things at 12:00 else you'll be the fool!
Garacesh Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Don't forget to disable all these things at 12:00 else you'll be the fool! Pfft. That's a stupid rule, enforced only by those who aren't sharp enough to have cottoned on by midday. April Fool's is all day. 1

Don't forget to disable all these things at 12:00 else you'll be the fool! I have added a piece of PHP, which will enforce the changes and then at 12:00 revert them back - I ain't no fool EDIT: OMG - Yes going to use Mr T somehow!
robjduk Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 so not only have I setup the staff laptops to change its login pic, but also set all student computers background image too... You know this may be a way to get them to turn their projectors off when not in use 3
hardtailstar Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Ive got my 'Voice activated printer' fool ready
Garacesh Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Sent the VoiceOver picture to one of the ladies in Reprographics. I'm hoping she things staff will see the funny side and makes use of it. I'll trust her judgement on this one.
Norphy Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 The IT team came in this morning and found their wallpaper set like this: The phrase "What the everlasting *expletive deleted*" was uttered a few times 1
Garacesh Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 @Norphy, thank you for reminding me I need to buy that tonight
Bananas Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 The copier has had it's "upgrade" this morning we shall now see what happens......
hardtailstar Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Voice activated all up and ready.... not sure people will see the notice as ive seen a few not read it so far.
Bananas Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 I stuck it over the touchscreen so they can't miss it lol
X-13 Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 ive seen a few not read it so far. How big is it? A3 [on nice paper] would possibly get people to read it. Looks important. I was VERY tempted to knock up a troll NUT/ATL poster about some stunt Gove was now trying to pull... but I decided against it on 2 grounds: A) I was going to forget to take it down. and B) It's a bit cruel... Honourable mention: I know some people here would take it seriously, even after I said it was a joke.
vikpaw Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Thinking of setting everyones internet homepage to End of the Internet Thanks for this - I've put the following gif on the intranet it now has a good link to go to when clicked This is an email I sent a couple of years ago ... I just sent that to some people who funnily enough were talking about TV Aerials and our bandwidth saturation last night. So they almost might believe it. The helpdesk (OP Smartdesk) has an announcement when people go to it saying it's down for maintenance and gives the business managers extension. Endless calls Us in admin fell for signing a congrats card for the receptionist who's colleague convinced us she just got engaged. Some staff have been receiving emails about the new "1984" software we've got for the projectors which allows us to monitor what is being projected for the purpose of a teaching and learning review - at the moment, video will be deleted after 2 days as we're just testing, but the audio will be stored for a week, as performance reviews are coming up. I'm just thinking of announcing Cake O'Clock - which we have a lot, but this time, it'll be only a picture I'm sure the day will only get better...

That's cold, man... It's also an actual thing people do, apparently. [Cameras in classes to do observations without notice disruption] I'm just thinking of announcing Cake O'Clock - which we have a lot, but this time, it'll be only a picture GLaDOS, is that you? Edited April 1, 2014 by X-13
Garacesh Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Repro lady approves It's stuck on our two big MFD's on A4. We'll see if anybody falls for it, I'm not 100%, but the MFD's have been out of order a lot recently so maybe they will.
north-ict Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 I just got the Office manager with the voice activated photocopier lol! 1
X-13 Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 I just got the Office manager with the voice activated photocopier lol! People need to set up covert webcams so we can all enjoy it. [or just film it and upload people getting caught out.]
Bananas Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 FANTASTIC idea, just done the cake one too. No such thing as too many April fool jokes
Tesla Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 How big is it? A3 [on nice paper] would possibly get people to read it. Looks important. You'd be surprised (or not...) But we have a big a3 poster on the wall out photocopier is against explaining how to retrieve files sent to the printer, and people still ask me what to do???
Bananas Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 OMG started getting emails asking if it's my birthday now pmsl
